INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove plastic wrap from top runway and remove all hardware, safety lock rods, hoses and cables. You
should also find this manual in the top runway.
2. Find the end of the hose that is already mounted to the cylinder and tighten the elbow that attaches the
hose to the side of the runway using the jam nut. Also, check the fitting at the cylinder end and make
sure it is tight.
3. Extend cylinder rod out of the cylinder to about 18” from end of runway. This can be done by pulling or
pushing on the 1/2” plate on the end of the cylinder. Make sure that the 1/2” plate is threaded tight
against the cylinder rod. Also, be sure the 1/4” plate is on the rod and hand tighten the lock nut on the
end of the cylinder.
4. Unbolt the top runway from the shipping plates at each end of the package. Be sure to secure runway
with a hoist to prevent runway from falling. Runway will need to be turned over so it is no longer upside
down. Place this runway in your bay with the hydraulic fitting facing toward the outside (see Page 1).
5. Next, unbolt the four columns from the package and place the column with the power unit mounting
bracket at the end of the previously unpacked runway nearest to the hydraulic fitting. Stand these
columns on their base plates with the locking ladders facing to the outside (front or rear) and the pulleys
toward the inside (see Fig. 1).
6. Unpack the bottom runway. Lay the approach ramps near the approach end of the lift and set out the
remaining parts away from the lift. Place the two cross rails at each end of the lift with the locks toward
the outside (front or rear) of the lift (see Fig. 1). Remove the shipping brackets from the bottom runway
and turn over placing the runway in the bay next to the other runway with the “L” shaped side facing the
“L” shaped side of the other runway.
